Dates of conference: 20 - 21 May 2025
Venue: Trinity College Dublin, the University of Dublin (Ireland)
The Trinity Centres for Global Intercultural Communications; Resistance Studies; and Forced Migration Studies invite scholars, postgraduate students, educators, policymakers, and activists in diverse settings to submit papers exploring the intersections of modern communication across four vital themes: the intersection of language with identity formation, power structures and resistance movements; the evolving landscapes of communication technologies and their societal impact; the communicative dimensions of border and migration experiences; and innovative approaches to training and education that foster resilience in an increasingly complex world. We welcome empirical research, theoretical frameworks, case-studies and practice-based investigations that contribute to our understanding of how communication shapes and is shaped by contemporary global challenges.
Deadline EXTENDED for submissions: now 14th April 2025, 17:00 (Irish Standard Time).
